time to look at some Bordeaux's - one bracket of a wine that has consistently disappointed me and another of a couple of producers that are quite new to me and I am enjoying exploring. Then off to some new Mosel arrivals.
I think the deal here is to drink these within their first 10 years of age - it is one of the few Bordeaux wines that I've experienced that doesn't seem to develop in an even remotely positive way.
I preferred the Labegorce-Zedes today
Ahh, the old familiar sensation of trying a wine that makes me go "why am I bothering to drink anything else?" thank you Germany
What a lovely opportunity to taste some wines
2009 Château Lanessan
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
from Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas of slightly jammy non-delineated black fruits with a little sweet spice, a bit flat. And equally flat on the palate, contrasting this with last nights tastings of Bordeaux 09's is an interesting exercise. This is very muted compared to those. Meh

2010 Château Lanessan
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
from Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas. This is a slightly more austere version of the 2009; the fruit more compote, the spice a little more savoury, tiny touch of cedar. Juicy tends to medium plus intensity acidity, slightly chalky textured tannins, dilute fruit is quite muted and the tannins persists past it. Meh.

2015 Château Lanessan
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc
from Coravin. Pretty, jubey, a little raspberry jam joins black fruit compote sprinkled with baking spices, this dissipates with time leaving a quite muted Autumn berry note. Juicy acidity, plenty of textured grip is drying and slightly chalky, bit of meaty underpin joins those Autumn berries. non intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish <shrugs>
